"They need to not discriminate." Keep in mind that the sole impetus for this federal proposal is the fact that a few adoption providers in a few states have been told that if they want to keep enjoying state contracts then they are going to have to follow state nondiscrimination laws that apply to LGBT people. But that undeniable fact doesn't matter to Ms. Baumer or her reliably false-witness-bearing employer. In the continued quest to convince America that they, the discriminators, are actually the "victims" of this whole "culture war," FRC is skipping the step where they and their allies force exclusion upon the public and instead pretending they are the ones being excluded.

We are dealing with a movement that now insists, loudly and strategically, that it's worse to be called out for being discriminatory than it is to actually be discriminatory. Because apparently a decades-long bout of aggression against our civil rights and decent treatment wasn't enough for them to solidify a regressive legacy. They apparently think an extra layer of deceit is needed in order to really seal the deal.
